Born out of a fundamental tension between the old-fashioned and
inadequate Qajar monarchy of Mozaffar al-Din Sah and Mohammad Ali
Shah, and new reformist democratic ideals, the Iranian
Constitutional Revolution of 1906 represents a pivotal moment in
the formation of modern Iran. The collapse of the state through
financial indigence and foreign pressure -- which in the end also
consumed the new regime -- created a vacuum, which became the
subject of many different visions. These included the
anti-constitutionalist arguments of Fazlollah Nuri; the moderate
Shi'i vision of Tabatabai'I; the more gradualist secular approach
of bureaucrats such as Sani-e Dowleh and Nasser Al-Molk; the
various radical visions of Taqizadeh and Sattar Khan, as well as
the Bakhtiaris. What were the reformists' various aims and how much
did they accomplish in the years before Reza Shah seized power? How
do events in Iran compare with similar uprisings in other parts of
the world? And what role does the Constitutional Revolution
continue to play in defining Iranian self-identity?
This important and authoritative new book explores all the many
different facets of the Revolution, drawing on newly available
sources as well as cutting edge research from around the globe to
present a definitive account. "Iran's Constitutional Revolution"
seeks to develop and advance the many existing debates on the
Revolution, as well as to open up new avenues of interpretation. It
offers a uniquely comprehensive and insightful analysis of the
subject and is essential reading for a full understanding of
contemporary Iran.
